This guy is a saint and we must protect him at all costs, ty for the info I’ve been searching for !

Don’t know why other people are saying you’re speaking too fast, this is the first tutorial I’ve watched that doesn’t seem to assume I’m mentally impaired

[connorroberts]

Also my recommendation for anybody who’s learning the stuff for the first time, I highly recommend them before watching this that you go into your plane and just start reading the names on things and pushing buttons and seeing what happens. So when you go in and watch this video you will already have a puzzle pieces in your head and now you just have to put them together. That’s what helped me the best, good luck

You have made getting into MSFS so approachable with these first-class video tutorials. Love your vocal cadence and delivery. Fantastic work!

[nandayo-ws]

AMAZING! Please do more of these. The blend of doing things properly but also keeping things simple is so needed in this community in regards of tutorials.

[GizmoMaltese]

I feel like I understand almost everything you explained but I know when I get in the air I'm going to be confused and have to watch this again. Playing with all these controls gets me all giddy. I'm new to this.

A very helpful video but I'm still having huge problems using the G1000 . A lot of the time I can't get it to accept any changes/adjustments in FPL- I think it's buggy.

[nimernimer]

Please please do a full g1000 ils approach and landing. This however has been phenomenaly helpful. Thank you

[sudo_rm_vrf]

awesome tutorial man! I would definitely love an ILS video as well.

[maroofr]

I subscribed to you simply because of your quote "you're supposed to yell at the screen louder so I can hear you"

Oh and your content is very in depth. Thank you sir.

[DDoom]

Sir, two things.

First you are heaven sent! Thank you for this amazing content.

Second, could you do an in depth tutorial on the different navigation methods? I have a very hard time understanding and when to use them. I'm talking about LOC, VNAV, VOR (why are there 2 also), ADF, and so on.

Thanks again for the content. It's so helpful

[dbeachy]

Thank you so much for this!! Your tutorial is clear, concise, and well-paced, and I wish all tutorial videos were as good as this one! I didn't know where to start learning all those buttons before, but now the GPS makes a lot more sense to me. Thanks again!

oh finaly a very good tutorial on autopilot. I dont understand why Aviaton Youtube isnt cashing in on new pilots. So many new gamers with 0 experience and soooo much questions. Good work mate

[joshuamarius]

I've seen many tutorials on the Avionics on YouTube and on Reddit. Almost nobody is talking about the importance of the TO/GA button. It positions the flight director at the proper pitch (usually 7-10°) for a takeoff, or if you have to go around after a missed approach. It is usually a button located on the side, or underneath (like in the SR22) the Throttle and it is a very important feature for take-off. Usually available on aircraft larger than the Cessna 172 (and separate Garmin GMC Autopilot unit), or the larger jets with the Pro Line 21 and even commercial airliners. Hope this helps!

[rjhelms]

Thanks for this! This video explained a lot of the things I found confusing about using the G1000 in FS2020. I've especially been struggling with figuring out how to tell it to go directly to a waypoint - lots of times when I start an approach it does the same silliness as happened in this video, so it's awesome to learn how to get around it.

[GusFliesBlind]

Great video! I'd like to watch 2 or 3 more of these with details on other features, particularly the other autopilot features. I haven't used my PPL in 20 years - it's a strange new world! Thanks!

Suggestion: It would be a lot easier to ffollow what you’re doing if you didn’t wave the mouse pointer round and around in circles all the time. Yes I know it helps people find it in a video clip but when you’re saying “click just here” and the pointer is moving all over the screen at warp speed it’s hard to learn what to do

[explodogames]

i remembered like 20percent of all this so now i get to watch this video 4 more times . super helpful . thanks

[wollaminfaetter]

Great. Love it. Can you PLEASE explain about the Control Wheel Steering (CWS)

[Wam_FR]

Just saving your video for watching it again and again for understanding all you say because I'm French but I can already say thank you very much for this video! It will be very helpful! Autopilot seems to be more complicated than in fsx... And sometimes, it does crazy thing with airliners
